If the statement below is False, why are there not more call signs showing up on the main ALE frequencies?
I can leave my rig on 14109.5 or 10145.5 for 24 hours and only see, at most 4 or 5 stations? Ditto for the ALE website At HFlink. And 99% of those are soundings. So where are the QSO's and the like? Who is up for testing the ability of PCALE to handle a standard test document between 2 distant stations, compared to 141A or ALE400. Ditto for a file transfer? I can't on PCALE since I can only receive, since I have a problem getting the software to TX. Anyway , in the past I have told you guys at least 20 million times not to exaggerate..
